Default CTR Cams/N2o/Timing Questions on B16a...

I am looking to be doing some major components to my B16a pretty soon. Before doing so, I have a few questions:

1. CTR Cams... Can I just grab the intake and keep my stock B16a exhaust, or do I have to get both? I'm planning on going AEM/Skunk2 cam gears...anyone have any opinions on those also?

2. N2O. I have a 40/50Wet Shot NOS system available for about $300. Includes purge kit. It was used for a very short amount of time, and is ready to be installed. How good of a price is that for a wet system, and how well will it work with my B16a? I have been told that it is better to go dry, but that wet will produce better results. What are some safe wet/dry shots for an internally stock B16a? Which is better (opinions, facts, doesn't matter), and which will work best with CTR/ITR cams?

3. Timing. Right now I am advanced a couple of degrees...on the N2o though, I heard you are supposed to retard it some in order to get the best out of the system (Along with not blowing my engine). This almost seems as if my VTEC engine is going to be working against itself... How much am I going to retard, and what are some short term/long term effects?

1 good no on the camgears they are aluminum wich expand under heat and can slip.
2.wetter is better. adds fuel with your denser air
3.retard the timing and run colder plugs or keep stock timing.

I don't want to retype everything but you are incorrect about a wet kit being better unless it's direct port or plate injection click the other thread to see my entire argument about this.
